Having a dog from the time it's just a little puppy, and spending years with that presence by your side, is something everyone should experience.

At least once. The ending is really hard, but the life experience that comes from sharing your time and experiences with that other creature that is so emotionally devoted to you is just an unspeakably grand thing.

Sorry, I'm feeling nostalgic, and remembering what it was like to have a dog...🥺
